State of Washington Immunization Records: MyIR, WAIIS & CIS Help

Need a Washington vaccine record for school, child care, college, a healthcare job, travel, immigration paperwork, COVID proof, or your own family file? Washington’s official record route usually starts with MyIR Mobile, but WAIIS, providers, pharmacies, schools, local health jurisdictions, and the Washington Department of Health record request process all matter when an online match does not work.

Quick answer

To get State of Washington immunization records, start with MyIR Mobile, your healthcare provider, clinic, local pharmacy, your child’s school, or the Washington Department of Health record request route. Washington DOH says MyIR Mobile can show immunization records, Certificate of Immunization Status records, and COVID-19 vaccination certificate access when your registration details match the state registry.

If MyIR Mobile cannot find your record, do not assume you were never vaccinated. The record may be under an old name, old phone number, different birth date format, pharmacy profile, school record, military record, out-of-state registry, provider portal, or older paper chart.

What Are MyIR Mobile and WAIIS in Washington State?

WAIIS means the Washington State Immunization Information System. Washington DOH describes WAIIS as a lifetime immunization registry that keeps track of immunization records for people of all ages. It is a secure web-based tool used by healthcare providers and schools to help record, review, and manage vaccine information.

Official registry page: Washington State Immunization Information System

MyIR Mobile is the public access route many Washington families and adults use first. After registration, MyIR Mobile tries to match your details with the state immunization registry. If the match works, you may be able to view immunization records, print a Certificate of Immunization Status, and access a COVID-19 vaccination certificate.

How To Get State of Washington Immunization Records Step by Step

Use this order because it starts with the fastest public route and then moves to the backup routes Washington DOH lists for families and adults.

  1. Start with MyIR Mobile. Create or sign in to your MyIR Mobile account, choose Washington, and enter identity details carefully. The system uses your registration information to match your record with the state immunization registry.
  2. Check the document type you actually need. A school or child care center may need a CIS. A job may need vaccine dates or titers. A travel or COVID request may need a different certificate. Do not submit the wrong format.
  3. Ask the provider, clinic, or local pharmacy. Washington DOH says most healthcare providers in Washington use WAIIS and may be able to print a complete immunization record or provide records from their own medical record system.
  4. For a child, ask the school early. Washington DOH says all public schools and some private schools have access to WAIIS. Depending on staffing, schools may be able to print student immunization records if requested ahead of time.
  5. Use Washington DOH record request support if MyIR and providers do not work. DOH lists Office of Immunization phone support, an authorization form, fax, mail, and WAIISRecords@doh.wa.gov for record requests.
  6. Use WA Verify only for COVID-19 digital proof. WA Verify can help with COVID-19 vaccination verification, but it is not the same thing as a full lifetime immunization history.
  7. Check other states when vaccines happened outside Washington. If vaccines were given in Oregon, Idaho, California, Texas, Florida, another state, Puerto Rico, military care, or another country, those records may not be complete in WAIIS.
Do not wait until registration week CIS review, MyIR matching problems, provider records, missing dates, old paper records, and out-of-state transfers can take time. Start early if school, child care, camp, college, or a job needs proof.

Washington Adult Immunization Records Online

Adults often need Washington immunization records for healthcare employment, nursing school, college, caregiver work, military paperwork, travel, immigration medical exams, volunteer programs, or personal health history. The fastest route is usually MyIR Mobile if your details match WAIIS.

Adult and family access: WA DOH record access options

If MyIR does not match your record, ask the provider or pharmacy that gave the vaccine. For older adult records, also check paper files, old schools, college health records, military or VA records, previous employers, travel clinics, and previous state registries.

Old record help: Tips for locating old immunization records

Washington Certificate of Immunization Status: CIS for School and Child Care

Washington’s school and child care immunization form is called the Certificate of Immunization Status, or CIS. Families may use a CIS printed from MyIR, a validated CIS from the IIS, or a hardcopy CIS that is medically verified according to Washington DOH guidance.

Official school page: School and child care immunization information for families

A CIS printed from the IIS is medically verified by the IIS. A hardcopy CIS completed by hand may need a healthcare provider signature or attached medical vaccination records reviewed by school or child care staff.

Washington CIS PDF, Printout and Download Help

Many parents search for a Washington immunization form PDF when school or child care asks for records. The important detail is not just finding a PDF; it is getting a valid CIS with medically verified information. A CIS printed from MyIR or the IIS is different from a random blank form filled at home without medical proof.

Official family guidance: WA DOH CIS information for families

If your child receives more vaccines after a CIS is printed, ask whether the school, provider, or IIS user should update and reprint the CIS. Do not assume the old printout automatically updates after a new dose.

School module help: School and Child Care Immunization Module
Simple rule For school and child care, focus on a valid CIS. For personal records, a MyIR immunization history PDF may be enough. For employment or college, ask the receiving office exactly what format it accepts.

WA Verify, MyIR and Washington COVID-19 Vaccine Records

Some users only need COVID-19 vaccination proof instead of a full immunization record. Washington provides COVID vaccination certificate access through MyIR Mobile and WA Verify. Use the full immunization record route when a school, college, employer, or clinic needs broader vaccine history.

CVS, Walgreens, Costco, Safeway, Walmart and Pharmacy Vaccine Records in Washington

Many Washington adults received COVID-19, flu, RSV, shingles, pneumonia, hepatitis, Tdap, or travel vaccines at a pharmacy. Those records may show in WAIIS if reported and matched correctly, but the pharmacy app or local pharmacy counter is often the fastest backup.

WA DOH also lists provider, clinic, pharmacy, school, and DOH request routes: WA DOH access options
CVS records

Check the CVS or MinuteClinic account used at the appointment and ask for a vaccine history if needed.

Walgreens records

Use the Walgreens account connected to the appointment or call the pharmacy location directly.

Costco records

Contact the Costco pharmacy where the vaccine was given, especially for adult vaccines.

Safeway / Albertsons

Check the pharmacy profile or call the store pharmacy if the vaccine does not appear in MyIR.

Walmart records

Ask the Walmart pharmacy for immunization documentation tied to your name and date of birth.

Travel clinic records

Ask for vaccine names, exact dates, provider name, and any official signature or stamp if required.

Why MyIR or WAIIS May Not Find Your Washington Record

A missing Washington immunization record does not always mean the vaccine never happened. Registry records depend on provider reporting, correct matching, old names, date of birth accuracy, pharmacy reporting, and whether the vaccine was given in Washington.

Name mismatchRecord may be under maiden name, old legal name, hyphenated name, or nickname.Ask provider or DOH support to search using previous names and exact birth date.
Wrong birth dateA small error can stop a MyIR match.Check old portals, pharmacy accounts, and provider profiles for the date used.
Out-of-state shotsVaccines from Oregon, Idaho, California, Texas, Florida, or another state may be in another registry.Use CDC’s state IIS directory to contact the correct state.

Military or VA careFederal records may not be fully reflected in WAIIS.Check VA, TRICARE, military clinic, or service medical records.
Old paper recordOlder childhood vaccines may not have been electronically reported.Search old schools, parents’ files, pediatricians, local health departments, and prior states.
Micro checklist before giving up Try old names, previous addresses, old phone numbers, previous email accounts, provider portals, pharmacy apps, school records, college health records, military records, another state registry, and WAIISRecords@doh.wa.gov.

Local Washington Help: Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver, Bellevue and Yakima

Most residents can start with MyIR Mobile, but local help matters when a record is missing, a school deadline is near, or someone does not use online accounts. Try the provider, pharmacy, school, local health jurisdiction, or Washington DOH record request route.

Titer Tests When Washington Vaccine Records Are Missing

A titer is a blood test that may show immunity to some diseases. Washington school guidance recognizes documentation of immunity by antibody titer for some diseases, but not every disease and not every organization accepts titers the same way.

SituationTiters may help withAsk before paying
Healthcare jobMMR, varicella, hepatitis B.Ask occupational health for accepted labs and result format.
Nursing or medical schoolMMR, varicella, hepatitis B.Ask the program whether positive IgG titers replace vaccine dates.

Money-saving rule Do not order titers until the school, employer, college, or civil surgeon confirms exactly which test and result format they accept.
